Jaguar announced as official car partner of 2015 Wimbledon

British luxury and sports car manufacturer Jaguar has been named as the official car partner for 2015 Wimbledon tennis championship.

As part of this partnership, Jaguar will supply 170 vehicles to support tournament operations, including XE, XF and XJ.

Laura Schwab, UK Marketing Director at Jaguar Land Rover, said: “Wimbledon is a British icon, which is recognised globally as the pinnacle of international sport. There’s no other event like it.

“The tournament captures our imagination in different ways. For some it’s the feeling of summer, but for others it’s British sport at its best. We’re very excited to be working with the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club to establish our new partnership and celebrate what makes Wimbledon so special.”

Jaguar’s brand ambassador José Mourinho added, “Wimbledon is more than a Grand Slam. You have great tournaments, great matches, but Wimbledon is Wimbledon. The tradition, the history around this tournament is magnificent. There are some iconic moments in your sports history, and in football to play at Wembley is a special moment. It is similar to Wimbledon. The aura is very difficult to explain – you come in and you just feel it

Wimbledon is the most prestigious ‘Grand Slam’ and is held annually at London’s All England Club. This year’s event runs from June 29 to July 12.
